In this episode, the panel discusses the continued importance of getting all children vaccinated and the potential unintended consequences of fewer individuals being immunized if the current trends continue.
In this episode, the panelists discuss how the pediatric immunization schedule changes could potentially influence vaccines' inequities, and how vaccine education continues to play a significant role in immunization uptake and improving health equity.
In this episode, the panelists talk about how they broach conversations with expectant mothers around counseling on vaccinations for their babies.
In this episode, the panelists discuss the probability that with vaccine recommendations changing across states and federally, costs could shift to families and increase health disparities.
